We'd been home a day and had all wound down. Our besties were happy to be home again and to have us home. They missed us.
A text message was sent and we all met at the coffee shop for a get together and swap the things back that had been left by each other. Cameras, cards, more food and Bugsy was happy to have his jacket back.
A great morning tea, sitting with Sue's husband, Digga and chatting with friends who passed by reminiscing our past 2 weeks.
We had travelled from Northam to Thevenard Island and home again in the Hyundai I-Max van.
Bugsy did the majority of the driving, a job well done, keeping us all safe on the road.
The special bus had served us well, it didn't miss a beat in the 3,459 kms using 350 litres of unleaded fuel to do the trip.
1714 photos were take by Mags, Sue & Tez - Bugsy proudly took 6. Tez now had the job of putting the videos and photos together for a dvd of our adventure. A promise from Bugsy to have a pizza night with the viewing, but still no secret dough recipe handed over.
Then it was time to depart, Tez was taking the special bus back to Perth as Bugsy headed off to golf and everyone got back into their normal routines once again.
While driving the bus back it started to rain, the first rain we had seen since leaving, and Tez was reminded of the day she picked up the special bus with Mags throwing her out in the pouring rain at the airport to collect it. It seems so long ago but the time has gone by so very quick.
There is some truth to the quote "it's not the destination, it's the journey". We had a great journey to a great destination. Some opportunities were missed but others appeared, lessons were learnt, "there'll be a test".
Thanks to the Countryman for running the competition and to Drew & Tracey for being great hosts on Thevenard Island. We all had a great time.

As the bus was parked back in Budget's yard, we said goodbye special bus, we will miss you.
